The government offices at all levels in Xiangyang City were the first to be built, and Liu Bei had been staying in the city during this period and had not gone out, so he was not too clear about Liu Yi's actions during this time.

It's just that when he and everyone came to see Xiangyang City outside the city, the feeling was suddenly different.

Looking at it, the rows of hideous tiger heads at the head of the city are looking at this side fiercely, even if Liu Bei, Guan Yu and other battle-hardened characters, when facing those tiger eyes, even if they know that they are fake, they still have an unspeakable palpitation, very light, but they do exist, characters like them have this feeling, and ordinary soldiers are even more so.

In the open tiger's mouths, the good broken army crossbow is still faintly visible, and the cold and cold light makes people feel like they are on their backs.

In the past, Liu Bei and Guan Yu had also discussed how to crack the city if the enemy used this kind of broken army crossbow to defend the city, and they also had some ideas, but at this moment, in the face of those broken army crossbows that were completely wrapped in tiger head carvings, any idea became a joke.

Guan Yu is right, in fact, it can be made into a baffle, and the tiger head is completely unnecessary, but when he is really standing outside the city at this moment, the deterrent power brought by the tiger head can be clearly felt.

And behind the account, the rows of dragon heads seem to be the visual impact of the dragons roaring in the sky is also shocking, Liu Bei knows that it is a dougong, I don't know, and I think it's okay to install flashy carvings on the city wall.

I can't say what I feel, but when I stand outside the city at this moment, facing the city wall, the indescribable sense of depression makes people's momentum a little weaker, as if I am not facing a city, but a nest that has raised countless fierce beasts.

"What does Yun Chang think?" After Liu Bei observed for a moment, he suddenly looked at Guan Yu.

"Win without a fight." Guan Yu looked at the city wall for a long time, and then said slowly, when Liu Yi carved it before, he didn't understand what it meant, and felt a little suspicious of taking off his pants and farting, but when he was really standing on the opposite side at this moment, Guan Yu somewhat understood, Liu Yi didn't do these things for no reason.

"With such a city, why be afraid of Cao Jun!" Liu Bei was also very happy, and couldn't help laughing.

With such a majestic city, I asked how many troops the Cao army was prepared to put in to break through?

Guan Yu and the others also smiled, although the Xiangyang City in front of them was not big compared to Chang'an, Luoyang and other cities, but in terms of solidity, it was enough to be called the best in the world.

"According to Bo Yuan, this Xiangyang City will be closed by the end of the year, but I don't know what the scene will be at that time?" Pang Tong shook his head on the side, he also made a contribution to the design of Xiangyang City, Liu Yi didn't use letters to harass him at the beginning, and now watching the establishment of Xiangyang City, he also has a sense of pride in his heart.

Liu Bei nodded, led everyone down the Han River, and from a distance, he saw that construction was also under construction on Fancheng, and he was a little curious: "Fancheng also has fortifications?" ”

Guan Yu glanced at it when he heard this, nodded and said: "Bo Yuan wants to build a bridge to connect the two cities of Xiangfan, so that no matter which side the Cao army attacks, it is equivalent to fighting against the two cities of Xiangfan, and in addition, the defense of Fancheng, Bo Yuan has also made some improvements." ”

If Cao Cao built such a bridge, it would not be easy for Guan Yu to break the two cities of Xiangfan, but according to Liu Yi, with the current construction ability of the rest of the princes, even Cao Cao would not be easy to build such a bridge, at least in a short period of time, it would be easy to be destroyed, but if it was a pontoon bridge, it would be easy to be destroyed.

Anyway, Guan Yu didn't understand it at the time, but he just knew that this bridge could support a lot of strength and would not collapse because of it, at this moment, the general outline of the bridge had come out, and from a distance, it was made up of two huge arches, and between the two arches, there were separate small arches, which looked quite beautiful.

"Can this bridge be crossed?" When the group came to the arch bridge, the official in charge of supervising the work hurriedly greeted Liu Bei and others, and Liu Bei pointed to the arch bridge.

"Back to the lord." The official shook his head and said: "The cement and stones on the bridge have just been paved, and they are waiting to be solidified at the moment, and if you go up at this time, I am afraid that the cement will be destroyed." ”

"Curing?" Liu Bei didn't quite understand, but since he couldn't, he didn't force it, he just felt that the bridge was beautiful, and wanted to go up to enjoy the scenery of the Han River, but this kind of thing can be done in the future.

After Xiangyang, there is a large area of farmland, and you can see small manors, scattered in this wilderness from a distance of ten miles or more.

Liu Yi took everyone to worship Liu Biao, and came to a manor with the reins, at this moment it was the busy time of farming, and the two-zhang high waterwheel slowly rotated, pulling the stone mill in the mill to rotate by itself, and someone was constantly filling the grain into it.

"These are all farms designed by Boyuan, with the help of water wheels, automatic grinding, saving a lot of effort, and the most important thing is that this thing is not difficult to make, even if there is no participation in the heavenly workshop, ordinary craftsmen can make it." Pang Tong saw Liu Bei's curiosity, and explained with a smile: "And some fertilizer in this farm can also be used to feed six livestock and poultry, many people with land in Xiangyang have been doing these during this time, and those who have some money will ask people from Tiangongfang to come out to help build the farm, just in this Xiangyang area, there are hundreds of farms, I heard that Boyuan promoted this farm in Changsha, Guiyang and other places earlier, and reclaimed a lot of fields, only the four counties of Jingnan, the wasteland reclaimed over the years is as much as one million hectares, and the population of Jingzhou has grown a lot in recent years, but there has never been a food shortage, and Bo Yuan has made great contributions. ”

Liu Bei nodded when he heard this, Liu Bei has indeed not lacked grain and grass over the years, which is also an important reason why he can practice benevolent government and encourage childbirth.

According to the estimates of Liu Yi and Zhuge Liang and others, although Jingnan is remote, it actually has great potential, with the current level of farming, if these four counties are developed, the population of the five counties of Jingnan is no problem to expand to six million, and it is far from reaching saturation at present, maybe the day of saturation will not be seen in this life, but it is precisely because of this that Liu Bei's power can always maintain a growth trend.

This is also why Liu Yi was so nervous about the land of Jingnan, even more than Jingbei, after all, Jingbei's potential has reached the limit that can be reached at the moment, and it is impossible to develop explosive growth, and Jingnan is different, as long as you are willing to invest enough financial resources and manpower, Jingnan is a treasure land, which can be seen from the magnitude of Jingnan's population growth over the years, and according to Liu Yi's words, in another thirty or fifty years, Jingnan will usher in a population explosion opportunity.

"After this battle, I will ask Bo Yuan to return to Shuzhong and serve as the Shaofu!" Liu Bei looked at the farm in front of him, smiled and nodded.

The position of Shaofu is the most suitable position for Liu Yi, and Liu Yi's contributions over the years are enough to make him rank in Jiuqing.

Pang Tong nodded when he heard this, although Liu Bei, the position of Shaofu, is now a bit arrogant, but when this battle is over, Liu Bei's title to the king is basically a sure thing, and when Liu Yi is ranked in Jiuqing, I am afraid that no one in the entire Liu Bei Group will dare to object, after all, not to mention the credit, the connections that Liu Yi has accumulated over the years alone are enough to shut up those who look at Liu Yi unpleasantly.

"Doesn't my brother want Bo Yuan to pacify Nanzhong?" Guan Yu looked at Liu Bei with some puzzlement, Liu Yi would go to Nanzhong, and he had also heard about it, although he also felt that Liu Yi was the most suitable to serve as the position of Shaofu.

"Bo Yuan is also the general of Annan, you can go to pacify Nanzhong first, and then come back to report on your work." Liu Bei said with a smile, Shaofu, although he is ranked in Jiuqing, but if it is not held by a person like Liu Yi, it is just a false position, he has already reserved this position for Liu Yi, and he believes that Liu Yi will be able to show his strength again in Nanzhong.

Guan Yu nodded when he heard this, looked at Liu Bei and said, "Brother, I have something I want to ask my brother to agree." ”

"Oh?" Liu Bei looked at Guan Yu and said with a smile: "You and I have been brothers for many years, why do you need to say such extraneous words?" Yun Chang has something to say, you might as well say it bluntly. ”

"Xing'er will be thirteen after this year, and when Bo Yuan enters Nanzhong, Xing'er is also old enough to join the army, rather than being protected by me here, it is better to go to Nanzhong with Bo Yuan." Guan Yu was silent for a moment.

"Wouldn't it be better to have Xing'er by Yun Chang's side?" Liu Bei looked at Guan Yudao with some surprise.

"Originally, Yu thought so." Guan Yu shook his head and said, "But if you are frank, my brother should know." ”

Guan Ping followed Guan Yu back then, martial arts, ability is good, but it has always been difficult to be alone, and later went to Jingnan with Liu Yi, but after coming back, some changes have occurred, and he is no longer obedient to Guan Yu, and has his own opinions, although Guan Yu was very annoyed at the time, but later facts have proved that Guan Ping has also been since then, and gradually has the ability to dominate a county, and his performance in the battle of Hanzhong is very eye-catching.

And the key to this should be Liu Yi, so Guan Yu hopes to throw Guan Xing to Liu Yi in advance, he has high skills, but he is not very good at teaching, martial arts or something can still be taught, but how to be alone, obviously Liu Yi is better at it.

"Do you know......" Liu Bei suddenly smiled when he heard this: "When I went south, Yide also entrusted the same thing and wanted Bao'er to follow Bo Yuan. ”

Guan Yu: "......"

He suddenly found that his third brother looked reckless, but his mind and vision were quite lively, you must know that Guan Yuxia's decision has been available for a long time, after all, handing over his son to someone else to bring him is not a disguised way to say that he has no ability to teach his son? This third child is simply ruthless!

"Second brother, don't worry." Liu Bei said with a smile: "Bo Yuan asked me for someone before, so I asked Xing'er and Bao'er to follow Bo Yuan to practice, and then give Wei Yue, Chen Ergou and Liu Sandao to him, these people, he can use them easily." ”

"What my brother said is very true."
